This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) provides requirements for design and installation of aircraft jacking pad adapters and the mating jack socket interface to permit use of standard jacking equipment to be used in civil and military transport aircraft. The adapter defined herein shall be the key interface between the aircraft and the aircraft jack(s).

Rationale

Full revision of the document. Addition of new jacking point adapter categories and revision of existing ones to include current commercial aircraft in service. Scope clarification, references update. Harmonization with ISO references. Adaptation to civil use aircraft. Update of AS33559 removing inconsistencies and adding generic jack socket dimensions to merge AS33559 into this document, making AS8091 the sole reference to be used.
